  35  Hi.
  36
  37 I'm the admin for a tiny RolePlayGaming network and we're currently looking
  38 into making addon modules for a series of Services Bots that will share the
  39 load for a Roleplay Service on IRC.
  40
  41 The problem is that none of us are really coders, and we need a lot of help
  42 getting started. With enormous respect for Andy and his great works on
  43 producing his wonderful services, his documentation re: modules creation
  44 leaves much to be desired, and seems to concentrate more on where and how we
  45 should indent, then on how to compile a new module, and integrate it into
  46 services.
  47
  48 Simple questions to which we should be able find answers baffle us I'm
  49 afraid, one such is: Do we add tokens for new commands to the exsiting token
  50 list in init.c, or is there a way to introduce them within the modules
  51 without editing existing code?
  52
  53 How do we include a module to the list of modules to be compiled, ie: is
  54 there a command line for compilation of extra modules like with Apache, or
  55 do we just drop them into the modules directory and recompile from scratch
  56 as with UnrealIRCD?
  57
  58 Has anyone written a skeleton module with compilation instructions that we
  59 could use as a starter?
  60 Is there a list of APIs that we could call on or must we read the code (Very
  61 headbreaking for us low IQ, cut &amp; paste coders).
  62
  63 Please don't tell me anything useless like: &quot;If you don't understand the
  64 code you shouldn't be doing this!&quot; Unless you intend to do the coding for
  65 us, for free, because suitable, or not; We're all we've got!.
